CHINO, CA – Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing heads into the 2014 AMA Pro
Superbike season with an undeniably talented three-rider line-up. Former AMA
SuperSport Champion Roger Hayden is the newest member of the
championship-winning team and will race the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 in AMA
Superbike. Hayden will race alongside returning Yoshimura Suzuki teammates
Martin Cardenas and Chris Clark in the premier class.

Prior to joining Yoshimura Suzuki,
Hayden raced the GSX-R1000 for one of Suzuki’s satellite teams. He picked up
his first-ever
AMA Pro Superbike victory in 2012 before finishing third overall in the series.
He followed up that performance by finishing on the podium six times and fourth
overall in 2013. Additionally, Hayden raced as a wild card entry in the 2013
World Superbike round at Laguna Seca Mazda Raceway and finished eighth.

“To be on a factory team is a great feeling,” said Hayden.
“Especially a powerhouse team like Yoshimura Suzuki that’s won so many
championships. I got the chance to ride the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 last year
and the test went really good. I was fast on the bike and worked well with the
team. I have to thank Suzuki and Yoshimura for making this happen. I’m really
looking forward to the 2014 season. Daytona can’t come soon enough.”

This year marks the second season that
two-time AMA Pro Daytona SportBike Champion Cardenas has raced for Yoshimura
Suzuki. Last year, his debut was more than impressive with the Colombian
winning two AMA Superbike races and finishing on the podium an additional nine
times. Yoshimura Suzuki teammate Clark is on his third season with Yoshimura
Suzuki and, after starting strong with a top-five finish at
Daytona last year, looks forward to getting on the podium in 2014.

“Everyone at Yoshimura Suzuki is
looking forward to this season,” said Race Director Don Sakakura. “Our goal is
always to support our riders to the best of our ability and we are fortunate to
have so much talent to work with. We’re very excited to have Roger with us,
what with the potential he showed riding for one of Suzuki’s satellite teams.
And Martin had a great first year with us last year and we’re eager to help him
take his racing to the next level. And Chris continues to work hard and get
stronger with every season. Our team is better than ever and we can’t wait to
go racing.”

Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing will campaign the
championship-winning Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 in the 2014 AMA Pro Superbike
Championship series, which kicks off March 13 - 15 with round one at Daytona
International Raceway in Daytona Beach, FL.
